Regarding "one continuous pour". We are doing a 25 sq m area, (smaller than yours) with average pour of 7mm. From 3-10mm. I've bought 3x 75 litre mixing buckets, because my plan was to mix 3 buckets at the beginning, actually doing the mixing in the buckets on the middle of the floor we are pouring onto, then literally just dumping out the stuff all in one go, then using a long float to pull it around and get it to level. The reason I want to do it that way is that I'm very concerned that if we mix in smaller buckets, each mix will be 3 minutes, that's 13 buckets which is about 40 minutes of just mixing! Far longer than the working time of the product (about 30 mins). My way, it will all be mixed up in about 10 mins, and then tip, trowel by hand and with a long pole, and then hit it with the spiked roller. I've never done this before - does my idea sound stupid or sensible? The only things I can think of that are different to this video are: 1) it does involve walking in the screed to get to the corners - so boots etc... and (2) as the 75 litre buckets are deep and quite narrow (plasterer's buckets) it may be difficult to get my hand in to scrape off the sides during mixing. Do you think that will be a problem? Cheers!

So let me get this straight if your basement floor or whatever floor you're working on isn't level and you use self leveling concrete then it's going to be level when You are finished.

Great vid. Nicely explained. I would add 2 tips for speed. Use a long handled blade spreader rather than a hand trowel. Drill a 1/2” hole in water bucket at your gauge level. easier and quicker.

The guys using “concrete floor paint” are using epoxy. And the only reason it would fail within a year is exactly why your floor will as well. You didn’t grind your concrete before you primed, let alone vacuum which you said isn’t really necessary. It’s always necessary. Self leveling concrete is made to be tiled on, polished, grind+sealed or coated. You have no clue what you’re talking about

DO NOT lift the paddle mixer up & down! This method pulls air into the mix which is bad for the mix. Instead. use a trowel to scrape the sides and bottom of the bucket. Too much air in the mix will show up as air pockets on the level floor.

I laid wooden tongue and groove floor on my new build home but my wife insisted it flowed from room to room, I explained it won’t work as there are differences between the floors but I still went ahead and laid it. I cut the door frames in beautifully but low and behold……the floor is now raising up slightly in certain areas. I’m going to pull the floor out and level the concrete underneath like I should have originally but my wife is again insisting that it flows through. Can I use self levelling fluid in various rooms that will then have the same level? Basically I have the lounge, hallway n kitchen that need to be the same level, will that work?

If you have 8mm depth in one area, so you need a 3-10mm screed, and the other area is 1mm, so you need the 1-3mm screed, is it ok to use the two screeds together, or do you wait , let one dry, then finish off with the other one?

HELP! Renovating my kitchen and waa originally going to level over the old ceramic tiles! (A lazy way, i know).. My brother convinced me to pull them up.. we did... then we had to scrape up a load of self adhesive vinyl tiles which were under the ceramics... Then scrape up all the old glue.. Its turned into a total nightmare! Its now 2.30am.. My new kitchen arrives sometime tomorrow and im ready to prime and hopefully get the job done before it arrives! Heres my question!

Unless you pour the whole floor in one pour you'll never get a perfectly smooth finish. It will be good enough for tiling but not as a final finish. Speaking from experience.
